Popis: In this chapter, we move toward a framework for Critical Policy Analysis (CPA) grounded in linguistic foundations constructing and maintaining institutional logics. The framework is built on the Institutional Logics Perspective (Thornton et al, The institutional logics perspective: a new approach to culture, structure, and process. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2012), and Searle’s (Making the social world: the structure of human civilization. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1995; The construction of social reality. Free Press, New York, 2009) linguistic theory of social institutions. The chapter first provides a general overview of the framework, and then further illustrates it in a discussion of three cases in which actors exert their agency by resisting marginalizing professional logics of school administration. We hope to show ways in which the linguistic foundations of institutional logics play a role in policy enactments and the micropolitical struggles between school administrators and members of school communities.
